+/* Set up ACTION so that it is invoked on C stack overflow and on other,
+ stack-unrelated, segmentation violation.
+ Return -1 (setting errno) if this cannot be done.
+
+ When a stack overflow or segmentation violation occurs:
+ 1) ACTION is called. It is passed an argument equal to
+ - 0, for a stack overflow,
+ - SIGSEGV, for a segmentation violation that does not appear related
+ to stack overflow.
+ On many platforms the two cases are hard to distinguish; when in doubt,
+ zero is passed.
+ 2) If ACTION returns, a message is written to standard error, and the
+ program is terminated: in the case of stack overflow, with exit code
+ exit_failure (see "exitfail.h"), otherwise through a signal SIGSEGV.
+
+ A null ACTION acts like an action that does nothing.
+
+ ACTION must be async-signal-safe. ACTION together with its callees
+ must not require more than SIGSTKSZ bytes of stack space. Also,
+ ACTION should not call longjmp, because this implementation does
+ not guarantee that it is safe to return to the original stack.
+
+ This function may install a handler for the SIGSEGV signal or for the SIGBUS
+ signal or exercise other system dependent exception handling APIs. */
